Zelda Ocarina Of Time on N64 - The final battle: Link vs Ganondorf
save

When you enter the room, Ganon is there, playing the organ while Zelda remains locked in her crystal prison. The 3 pieces of the triforce start to glow and Ganon orders you to give him yours. The battle can begin.

Ganon starts the fight by violently striking the ground (1). This attack causes some floor blocks to fall (and hits you if you're too close). Ganon performs this blow from time to time but normally, you'll be far away except perhaps at the beginning. From the start, go take shelter on an edge or in a corner and wait for Ganon to throw his "little" energy ball at you (2). As in the forest temple, the goal is to return this ball to him with your sword. Normally, he should return his ball to you with a cape swing. Win the ping-pong game to stun Ganon then quickly send him a Light Arrow. Ganon should collapse on the central platform. Rush to join him to deliver a few sword blows. When he flies away again, return to your edge and start over until he dies. Ganon has a 3rd attack that's quite hard to avoid, he creates a large energy ball. You can use Z-targeting and make quick side jumps when he shoots.

Ganondorf is defeated but destroys the tower before dying. Zelda is free but you have 3 minutes to save yourself.

The tower descent

This descent should really not pose any problems. You just need to follow Zelda going down the stairs and accompanying her in front of the gates. At one point, Zelda gets caught in a circle of flames, you'll then need to kill the 2 Stalfos in the room to free her. A little lower down, a ReDead will attack you on the bridge and I advise you to pass by without killing it. The 3 minutes are quite generous but try not to waste too much time anyway, you never know.

The tower collapses and Link and Zelda are happy because everything is over. They're ready to leave when a loud noise resounds under the rubble.

Link vs Ganon

Ganondorf then emerges from under the rubble and transforms into Ganon, sending Link's sword flying. It ends up on the other side of a wall of fire. The true final battle can now begin.

The Master Sword being on the other side of the flames, you'll have to fight with the hammer or the Biggoron Sword if you have it. The fight is quite repetitive since Ganon only gives sword blows. To hit him, you'll need to roll between his legs then hit his tail. You can use the light arrow to immobilize him for a few moments if you're having trouble.

After a few blows, Ganon falls and the fire barrier goes out. Take advantage of it to go retrieve your sword then finish Ganon while keeping the same technique as before.

Ganon collapses again and Princess Zelda uses her last strength to paralyze him. Take advantage of it to finish him off with a sword blow. Zelda and the 6 sages then unite to send Ganon through the infernal void.

The game is over, you can go see the epilogue.
